and the inside face of the extension tube clamp.

2B: Assemble as shown.
•
Check that the clamp is fully seated onto the
extension tube and that the security cable
attachment faces up.
•
Do not
tighten the bolts yet.
2C: Insert the dropout fixing bolts into the
holes on the Leap frame, with the dome
nuts and lock washers facing outwards,
and the dropout spacer on the inside of the
frame.
Note:
There are two mounting positions for
the dropout fixing bolts on the Leap frame.
The forward position will give the finished
bike a longer overall wheelbase for more
stability, greater clearance between the
rider and passengers/cargo on bikes with
short chainstays, and less potential for
interference between the bike frame and
Leap frame.
The rearward position will give the finished
bike a shorter overall wheelbase for more
maneuverability/ease of parking, will move
the passengers/cargo closer to the rider
on bikes that have long chainstays, and
will provide even greater stiffness to the
already-stiff Leap mounting.
